How his approaches translate to online work
Dr. Keating commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of the Gottman Method. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce stress and anxiety. The Gottman Method centers on improving communication and rebuilding trust in relationships through practical exercises and clearer patterns of interaction.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. He works together with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as progress is made and priorities change.
